A learned Sayyid scholar, whose truthfulness and piety are doubtless, was once going for the Ziyarat of Sayyid Muhammad from Samarrah on foot and he lost his way. Being despaired of life, he fell down in a swoon due to the intense heat and extreme hunger and thirst. After some time, when he regained consciousness, he realized that his head was in the lap of a person, who put a glass of water at his lips.

Hujjat ul-Islam, Aga Hajj Sayyidullah Madani has written in one of his letters as follows:

It was a religious festival, when around noon I went to visit Ayatullah Hajj Sayyid Mahmud Shahroodi, Nafaz Zakiyyah. Since it was late, people had stopped frequenting that place and he had gone into the house, but he came out once again due to his noble manners.

Around twenty years ago on a Friday evening, I went to Masjid Jamkaran with Aga Sayyid Baqir Khayyat and some other persons. All went to sleep, but I and an aged gentleman were awake. He had lighted a candle on the terrace and was reciting a supplication. I was engrossed in Midnight Prayer when suddenly I observed that the atmosphere became illuminated. I thought that the moon has risen. but no matter how much I looked, I could not see it. I saw at a distance of nearly 500 meters, a magnificent Sayyid standing below a tree and that illumination was emanating from him.

I have heard many times that a righteous man of his time, Hajj Muhammad Ali Fashandi Tehrani had the honor of meeting Imam Zaman ('a) and a number of incidents are narrated from him. I became eager to see him in person and hear from him directly. So in Rabi us Thani 95 A.H. in Tehran, I met the chief of scholars, Hajj Aga Moin Shirazi and along with him met Hajj Muhammad Ali. The signs of righteousness and devotion to Ahl ul-Bayt ('a) were apparent from him. I requested Hajj Aga Moin to please note down wha the respected Haji was saying. Here, I present his writing for our readers:

A learned and pious personality narrated that one of his relatives in the final period of his life had purchased a property and was living on its income comfortably.

After his death he was seen in dream that he has lost his eyesight. He was asked how it happened. He replied: The property that I had purchased had a spring of sweet water in its center and people living around took water from there for drinking and also watered their cattle.

More than thirty years ago there was an elegy reciter named Shaykh Muhammad Hasan, who fell into unlawful acts during the last years of his life. After his death a pious man saw him in dream that he was naked, his face was black and flames were protruding from his mouth and his tongue was hanging loose. So terrible was his condition that he fled from him in terror.

Late Aga Sayyid Muhammad Taqi Gulistan (Editor: Gulistan Daily), has narrated that in the beginning of his youth he belonged to a group of young men having similar interests and temperament. (He had also mentioned their names. but I have forgotten).

A sincere, pious and pure gentleman was a tobacco trader by profession. He narrated to me around forty years ago:

Around forty ·years ago, in Madressa Darush Shifa, on 25th night of Rajab, a gathering of scholars and learned was held to seek mediation of Imam Musa Kazim ('a).

A gentleman from them said: When an affluent person from Mashraaq locality of Najaf al-Ashraf died, I saw myself in the holy courtyard of Amir ul-Mu’minin ('a) and observed that Imam ('a) was majestically seated on the pulpit. That rich man of Mashraaq, who had just died, was brought over there with two guards and signs of punishment were apparent on him. When he came before the Imam, he begged him for intercession.

The pious personality, late Dr. Ahmad Ahsan, lived in Karbala Moalla for many years and during his last days, he was the caretaker of Qom mausoleum. He died there and was also buried in the same place. He has narrated an incident, which he witnessed in Karbala twenty-five years ago. One day he saw a coffin being carried to the tomb of Imam Husai n (‘a) for blessings. He also started walking with the coffin. Suddenly he noticed that a dark and horrible dog was perching on the coffin.
